He should know, he writes about just about everything on his blog and he certainly has the traffic to prove his point.

Actually, I happen to agree with him. Although I have tried to stay with the subject of my websites, they do tend to get dry after a while. And as far as SEO, (search engine optimization) it is obvious with so many blogs and websites who do diversify and get high pagerank and visits that niche is not necessary, certainly not at this time.

Although I am not a “blogger” in the sense of someone who just loves to right about every detail that comes to my mind, I am going to try to diversify on this blog. The proof of the pudding will obviously be in whether or not you and others come back to visit, so we will see after some months.

(And don’t worry, I am not going to create posts about what I ate or didn’t eat for breakfast – those types of blogs are of no interest to me whatsoever.)
